About the Product

Since before Australia was settled by former Europeans and others, boomerangs were fashioned by native Aboriginal peoples to hunt and for sporting competition. They come in many shapes. The arms are carved in such a way that once it is thrown, it returns! The boomerang kit here is a “paint your own” project for a rainy day. It’s medium in size and comes with a simple paint set and brush. It was carved by an Aboriginal artisan who’s not unlike Uwan, whom Raisa and companions meet in Destination Perth. With your purchase here, you support an ancient artform and those who practice it. Just like Raisa receives a boomerang at the end of the excursion book, so too can the special child in your life!

Artisan Background

Aboriginal boomerangs are produced by carvers and painters in the Oceanic nation of Australia. Some, like this one, are produced on neighboring islands like Indonesia. They are generally fabricated from local wood found in the region. They utilize simple tools. They are finished in a variety of ways, often with stain and an original painting. Under reasonable care, these Aboriginal boomerangs are heirloom quality and can be handed down from generation to generation. Commissioned or purchased fair trade. Resold responsibly.

Care and Cleaning:

Wipe clean with a moist cloth, with or without using hand soap. Do not use rinse. Do not use brushes or any other abrasive surface to clean as this can damage the painted surface.
